The Proper Uses of Islam (by Western Elites)

Father
Andrew Phillips shares some enlightening words in the wake of the Paris shootings:

In
the eleventh century, the Western world, then meaning only some parts of Western Europe, finally rejected any kind of spiritual
centre outside itself and made itself into its own spiritual centre. Thus,
having become ethnocentric, it started to view all other civilizations as
cannon fodder for its wholly unprincipled and egoistic purposes. All other
civilizations became ‘good’ if they supported the exploitative and genocidal
egoism of the West, but ‘barbaric’, ‘backward’, ‘primitive’ and
‘anti-democratic’ if they did not.

. . .

For
example, the Muslim world could be massacred, as in the eleventh century in the
Iberian Peninsula, as in the Crusades, as
today in the Gaza Strip, because Muslims are ‘in the way’. However, when it
suited and suits the unprincipled purposes of the West, the Muslim world could
and can become its closest ally, as in the anti-Christian Crimean War and in
Bulgaria in the 19th century when the West supported anti-Christian massacres
by Muslims, as in the West’s contemporary support of barbaric anti-Christian
dictatorships in Saudi Arabia (whose Muslim fanatics were responsible for 9/11
but which was not invaded), in Qatar and Bahrein, as in Chechnia, Kosovo and
Bosnia, where the West supported the establishment of anti-Christian Muslim
criminal mafia governments, as in Afghanistan, where the CIA set up Al-Qaida,
as in Iraq, where the CIA-imposed dictator Hussein was then betrayed by the
West once he had outlived his usefulness and lived to see his country pillaged
and over a million of his people massacred and exiled, as in Libya, where
Britain and France bombed the legitimate regime to pieces and ensured that its
armouries were pillaged by Muslim fanatics, as in Syria, where the West
financed and trained fanatical Muslim terrorists and encouraged their own
Western-born jihadis to fight there – until they started carrying their jihad
into Iraq and now into France, or as in the Crimea where it supports the Muslim
Tartar minority against the Christian Russian majority.
